CommerceNet Singapore proposes the study of withdrawal of the copyright law from a certain 'predefined creative realm' in this region. This is to allow catalytic 'creative sectors’ to grow uninhibited, gaining market penetration in a systematic but not anarchic manner. The distribution of revenues in the culture or creative industries follows a certain pattern, whereby a small number of very successful creative professionals receive a large share of the money, whereas the overwhelming majority toil without any significant remuneration. This provision will end the potentially monopolistic cycle whereby large and established creative conglomerates with large ownership of the past provides the revenue to control the nature of what is produced, distributed and 'popular' in the present and consequently promising them control over the future.
